PDF application

I want to build a C# application with integrated acrobat reader. I will have a list of the left hand side which is a list of links of pdf files I have on my computer and when I click the required pdf file link on left, pdf file must display on the right hand side of the application inside a pdf reader. I am currently having 100 pdf files for my literature review ( I am a PHD student :D) and it has reached a state where its unmanagable. I am a pretty OKAy coder in C#. But I simply don't know how to go about this. Any help will be highly aprreciated. Regards, Amit

there are alot of options available for you to read a pdf file. Infact Listing the PDF in your application is not a issue than reading a pdf file. You can use Acrobat SDK & Documentation for this. Infact it is not OpenSource but i downloaded (for Free) this SDK once when i needed to include javaScripts in PDF Events. Secondly Check ITextSharp (OpenSource), PDFToolKit (Price 299 $), or PDFLib (dont know price). I recommend you to use Acrobat SDK or ITextSharp**

Dear Ram, Thank you very much for that. I think I will stick with the ItextSharp. I can extend this to any application, like powerpoint, word and excel etc.??? I mean if my file is not pdf but also consists of .doc, .txt, or . ppt, .xls? Regards, Amit

yeh you can use this library for TEXT,HTML,PDF(CODECS ALSO INCLUDED LIKE WMF),RTF DOCUMENTS,XML,GZIP,TAR,ZIP. I am not confirmed about PPT and DOC. but ITextSharp Includes the Bouncy Castle (open Source) Library which is related to Security you can create digital certificates and signatures using Abstract Syntex Notations like X 509 X9 more over you can use it for SMIME Implementation.
